Ключевое слово: «yukaghir pictograms»

Disappearance of the indigenous peoples’ native language of Yakutia can lead to complete dissolution and disappearance as an ethnic group and the loss of the cultural heritage of these peoples. One of the most interesting languages in Yakutia is Yukaghir, we studied unique pictograms and compared them to the modern emojis. Methods of analyzing documents and interview were applied. We consider the use of pictographic writing is a traditional cultural practice that arose in ancient times, were preserved in updated modern computer graphics and widely used in modern society as emoji. Our data demonstrate that people use emojis for the same purpose as the pictograms were used, thus our statement is true. We believe that the study of the history of the people and culture by us, young generation, should contribute to the preservation and revival of the original cultures and languages of the indigenous peoples of the North.
